Bottom of the lineup made some nice contributions with small ball and situational hitting.

Winner winner !! Home sweet home for dinner !!

Thought Peters had that one ! But they got the run they needed. Now just don't give up any !

Good patience Acuna !

Ant -Man having a beautiful day

Good start Vargas !

Sox are just going to have to get runs 3 innings in a row. No problem.

No Smith on the 26. Tyler Davis available.

Leasure bombs away

Speed kills !

Peter perfect !

Let's go Acuna ! Good job !

Good start Beni !

Get fired up boys ! Need runs !!

That catchers interence was so bogus. What did he interfere with ? The ball was already in the catchers glove and the batter checked his swing and tapped Queros glove as he was to pulling it up to frame it. Why did Venable just accept another base runner ? I understand interference if during the swing the bats hits the catcher's mitt but that checked swing was over and the contact with the glove meant nothing. Then to add insult to injury they dont get the call on the other check swing that shouldve been strike 3. Venable needs to fight for his guys. Fire them up at home.

The starting pitcher is LH today . He probably won't pitch more than 2 innings but it means you get lineup changes. The reverse jinx for the bottom of the lineup is in full effect !

Soxtalk don't ever change. A week ago it was brain dead to leadoff Beni .Now people want him leading off against a LH opener. My only stance on that is batting Beni at leadoff against RH starting pitching produced wins and Beni has hit way better there then anywhere else. Small sample of course but so is winning while he's been at it. If there's been a Mune effect based on seeing more good pitches batting right in front of him that has helped Beni's production then I'm all for it since he does hit HR's .Both his HR's have come leading off as have the majority of his hits and runs batted in. Time to put the pedal to the metal at home.

Luckily there's still approx. 89 % of the home schedule left in the season.

The players genuinely seem like they pull for each other. The whole building a winning culture with a bunch of good guys has merit . But they also have to be baseball smart, gritty, talented, have good plate discipline, and mostly be left handed . That's Getz plan in a nutshell. Power is not overlooked in favor of gritty short Getz like players despite complaints about that. We need to keep in mind that when dumpster diving for the obvious reasons that players who need another chance and AAAA types are going to either be failed top draft picks , or guys who had success in the minors but failed in numerous call ups. This may include many different body types or pitchers who have different arm angles or have no command . Dealing with rejects has never been a plan that was supposed to be. easy or produce stars . You cycle through them quickly and hope a few impress you enough to get a shot to do more. That was born from necessity because the owner is spending like it was 20 years ago. If youre looking for him to spend more you probably need to know more about what kind of money is incoming directly as a result of Murakami being Japanese and getting all of baseball excited because of his bombs. You'd also need to see at least 2 million in attendence if the M &M boys can continue trending upward and produce a lot more winning. That, however , is no guarantee that JR would spend whatever it takes to extend Murakami or that Mune will be receptive to staying with the Sox . Or you can speculate that Justin Ishbia is very persuasive and needs Murakami to star in the new White Sox stadium.

I consider it as possible every series. Not sure how you separate that from hope though .When you become good you still hope for more but only one team gets the trophy every year . That means fans of 29 other teams have some kind of heartbreak. It's never as bad as it seems . Wait til next year has been as much a part of baseball as one Champion every year.

Guess it was a drunk post 🤣

Guess the building culture thing is working. These guys seem to genuinely like each other. Add in Munes comments which I will paraphrase as " I love these guys" !!

How do we measure " mored (sic) productive" on a message board ? More Toxic maybe ?But should we count game threads as Toxic during losses when SP are left in to die while 3 hitters are in consecutive game HR streaks as reflective of the general toxicity because of JR deciding not to spend any money and hanging his GM out to dry ? It wasn't me who called yesterday's gamethread a shitshow by the way. I just saw it after not entering it until the game was over. Maybe you're going by post count as Soxtalk recovers from the still not fixed all the way upgrades. I guess that would make you the most productive . But I'm not sure that wasn't just a drunk post and you have no idea what you just said . Maybe another rehab is needed ? Too many drinking games can be hazardous to your health.

Savagery definitely.All the left handers !

Switch hitter Dirty ?
